1 grated orange peel
- ½ bunch of dill
Add water to a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and the juice of 1 lemon and mix. Rub the artichokes with the lemon to keep them white and place them in the water.
Heat olive oil in a wide rice pot. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened. Add salt and white pepper and stir. Arrange the whole artichokes in the pot. Add orange juice, water, and bay leaf, then cover and cook for 30-45 minutes, or until tender. Once the artichokes are cooked, let them rest.
In a mixing bowl, combine the orange segments and orange zest.
Remove the cooked artichokes from the heat and let them cool. Arrange the artichokes on a serving plate. Add the orange mixture and finely chopped dill to the remaining onion mixture in the pot and stir. Place the onion mixture in the center of each artichoke. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
